The sky collapsed, and in the blink of an eye, I found myself transported to Nanluoguxiang.

When Li Kaixin saw this scene, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

Ma Xiaohai has probably only been in power for a month or two, and he's already so arrogant.

"Kid, do you still remember us brothers?" Erhu glared at him fiercely.

Li Kaixin glanced at the two of them and naturally recognized them as the two petty thieves he had robbed last time. He also realized that the exposure of that place last time was not a coincidence at all.

So he deliberately shook his head, his tone dismissive: "Don't know you. Where did you come from, you Tom, Dick, and Harry?"

Upon hearing this, Erhu and Hao Jian were instantly enraged and raised their fists as if to charge forward.

"Erhu, Hao Jian, stop right there!" Ma Xiaohai immediately shouted, then turned and put on a fake smile again: "Brother Zhou, you saw it too. If I hadn't stopped them, my brothers would have already started fighting. You don't want to see blood, do you?"

Looking at Ma Xiaohai's pretentious smile, Li Kaixin felt nothing but amusement.

However, a hint of hesitation appeared on his face, and his voice softened slightly: "What exactly do you want to talk about?"

Seeing that he seemed frightened, Ma Xiaohai became even more smug. He took another half step forward and said in a low voice:

"Brother Zhou is a sensible man. From now on, you should sell all the goods you have to me, Ma Xiaohai. Don't worry, I will never let Brother Zhou suffer a loss at the price; it will be the same as what Hu Laoliu offered."

As he spoke, a glint of greed flashed in his eyes, and he changed the subject: "However... last time you made me lose face at Boss Guan's place. How about this, you take the money you just traded with Hu Laoliu as compensation for me, and that will settle the matter."

"Okay!" Li Kaixin pretended to pull out the three large yellow croakers from his pocket and waved them in the dim light. "Come and get them."

When Ma Xiaohai and his henchmen saw the large yellow croaker, their eyes widened in surprise.

After a moment, Ma Xiaohai came to his senses and was about to step forward.

Hao Jian grabbed his arm: "Brother Ma, this kid's got some skills, be careful he doesn't try anything funny!"

"What are you afraid of! With so many brothers around, he wouldn't dare." Ma Xiaohai was already carried away with his pride. He shook off Hao Jian's hand, walked straight to Li Kaixin, and reached out to take her hand.

Just as his fingertips were about to touch the large yellow croaker, Li Kai was moved.

With a flick of his wrist, several slender silver needles appeared between his fingers, swiftly piercing several acupoints on Ma Xiaohai's body.

The smug smile on Ma Xiaohai's face froze instantly, and he collapsed to the ground limply, as if he had no bones left.

Immediately afterwards, Li Kaixin flashed forward and attacked the two henchmen closest to him.

With two crisp "crack" sounds, before the two men could react, their leg bones had been broken.

Immediately, screams of agony rang out.

When Hao Jian and Er Hu saw this scene, the memory of being beaten last time suddenly came flooding back.

The remaining henchmen were also terrified.

Li Kaixin gave them no chance to catch their breath, and flashed in front of another person. With a flash of cold light from the silver needle in his hand, that person also collapsed.

Seeing another one fall, Hao Jian shouted hoarsely, "Quick! Get your weapons! There are so many of us, are we afraid of just one guy?"

Upon hearing the roar, the remaining people grasped at a straw, drew their knives, and rushed towards Li Kaixin.

Seeing this, Li Kaixin's lips curled into a cold smile. Facing the swung knife, he did not retreat but advanced, nimbly slipping under the blade and plunging the silver needle in his hand into the side of another henchman's neck.

The henchman's hand, which was holding the knife, froze in mid-air, and he fell straight backward.

"Grab your weapons and surround him! Don't let him get close!" Hao Jian shouted, while he and Erhu quietly took a half step back.

Upon hearing this, the remaining three henchmen, armed with knives, steeled themselves and formed a triangular formation, slowly closing in from all sides.

Li Kaixin's gaze swept across the group, taking in the positions of the four. Before the three could surround them, he pushed off with his feet and dashed towards the person on his left front like a ghost.

When the henchman saw Li Kaixin rushing over, he hurriedly raised his knife and slashed down.

Li Kaixin dodged to the side, then reached out with his left hand, grabbed the other person's wrist, and gently twisted it.

"Ah!" the man screamed, and the knife immediately slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.

Li Kaixin followed up with another side kick with his right leg, producing another crisp sound.

Seeing this, the other two pounced on him simultaneously, their eyes turning red with rage.

Instead of retreating, Li Kaixin advanced, using both silver needles and fists and feet. In a few leaps and bounds, he had knocked the remaining two men to the ground.

Seeing his brothers fall one after another, Hao Jian steeled his heart, pulled out a pistol from his waistband, aimed it at Li Kaixin, and pulled the trigger.

Li Kaixin had been keeping an eye on Hao Jian and Erhu's movements and was worried that they might take the opportunity to escape.

Seeing Hao Jian raise his gun, he suddenly moved to the side and at the same time pulled out a pistol from the secret space and fired two shots back without hesitation.

"Bang! Bang!"

The gunshots rang out almost simultaneously. Hao Jian was shot once in the wrist and once in the ankle, and the pistol fell to the ground.

The person fell to the ground, curled up, and covered their wound with their other hand, groaning in pain.

Erhu, standing to the side, was stunned by the gunshots and froze on the spot.

Li Kaixin stepped forward steadily, gun in hand, and grabbed the pistol next to Hao Jian.

Erhu then seemed to wake from a dream, his legs went weak, and he knelt down with a thud, kowtowing repeatedly: "Brother Zhou, no, Master Zhou! Spare us! It was all Ma Xiaohai who forced us to come!"

Li Kaixin ignored his pleas for mercy, raised his hand and inserted a needle. Erhu's body stiffened, and he collapsed to the ground.

Then, he walked up to Hao Jian, who was curled up and groaning, and squatted down.

Hao Jian saw that the person was right in front of him. Although he was in pain and his face was covered in cold sweat, he gritted his teeth and dared not make a sound.

"It seems they haven't learned their lesson from last time, because they've even dared to use guns this time." Li Kaixin's face was calm, and his voice revealed no emotion.

"Master Zhou... I was blind and ignorant, I really won't dare to do it again!" Hao Jian stammered, begging for mercy.

"It's too late." Li Kaixin shook his head. "It was too late from the moment you aimed at me and pulled the trigger."

As he spoke, Li Kaixin took out silver needles and began to apply them to Hao Jian's body.

At first, Hao Jian only felt numbness in a few parts of his body.

However, after Li Kaixin administered the last needle, a sharp pain suddenly erupted from Hao Jian's limbs and bones. He couldn't even make a sound and could only convulse and roll on the ground.

Li Kaixin looked at his miserable state without feeling anything.

Just then, Hu Laoliu and one of his henchmen crept over from not far away.

Li Kaixin instantly became alert, raised his gun, pointed it at a spot, and shouted in a low voice, "Who's there? Come out! Or I'll shoot."

"Don't shoot, don't shoot, Brother Zhou, it's me!" Hu Laoliu hurriedly stepped out of the shadows.
